Jot ("we," "us," or "our") is a notes app for iPhone. This Privacy Policy explains what data Jot handles, what it does not, and how the website at jot.sparqan.com behaves.
Notes you create in Jot are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. If you have iCloud enabled for Jot, your notes sync to your private iCloud database via Apple's CloudKit. Only you have access to those notes. We have no servers, no admin tools, no way to read them.
When you record a voice note, Jot streams the audio to Apple's on-device speech recognizer (the SFSpeechRecognizer framework with requiresOnDeviceRecognition = true). The audio is transcribed locally and the audio sample is discarded once transcription completes. No audio leaves your device.
Jot does not request access to Contacts, Photos, Location, Health, or any other system data.
If you've signed in to iCloud and enabled iCloud sync for Jot in iOS Settings, Apple syncs your notes between your devices through your private CloudKit database. This data is governed by Apple's privacy practices, not ours. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
If you opt in to share diagnostics with Apple in iOS Settings, Apple may collect anonymized crash reports for Jot and forward them to us. These reports contain no personal data, no note content, and no audio. You can disable this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
This website is an informational landing page. It does not collect personal information through forms, signups, or accounts.
Standard server logs may be collected automatically by our hosting provider (GitHub Pages):

Jot is rated 4+ on the App Store and is suitable for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us.
Because Jot does not collect personal data through the app or this website, there is generally no personal data for us to access, correct, delete, or export. If you believe we hold any data about you, contact us and we'll respond within 30 days.
We do not sell or share personal information of California residents. Jot does not collect personal information through the app or website.
We do not process personal data of EEA/UK residents through the app or website beyond standard server logs collected by our hosting provider. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. The current version is always available at jot.sparqan.com/privacy.html.
